Bengaluru: Commuters in Bengaluru are likely to face a day without cabs, autos and private buses, as the Federation of Karnataka State Private Transport Associations has called a strike in the city on September 11, in protest of not fulfilling their demands by the state government.
The federation has expressed dissatisfaction with the state government stating that their primary demand for compensation to private travel operators who are facing losses following the implementation of the Shakti scheme has not been met.
Quoting a statement of Nataraj Sharma, the nominated president of the federation, The New Indian Express wrote, “Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy had assured that the problems of private travel operators would be resolved following discussions with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. However, no such progress has been made till date.”
According to the report, Sharma further stated that on September 11, all taxi aggregators, including airport services, autos, school buses, and private buses, would halt their operations. A rally has been organized which is scheduled to commence at Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna station, Majestic at 11 am and will end at Freedom Park.
